D3: Loire: Bacakground: Muscadet Overview with Pierre Jean Sauvion from Chateau du Cleray
We talk about viticulture and winemaking processes with Pierre Jean of Chateau du Cleray. As the region is fairly close to the Atlantic ocean the humidity can cause diseases such as botrytis and mildew, but mildew is the greatest problem due to damage to leaves which results in less sugar in the wine. 'Sur Lie' is the process used in the Muscadet Sevre et Maine appellation of keeping the wine on the lees (dead yeast) from the end of fermentation at the beginning to mid October to the 1st March. Pierre Jean describes the whole process and we also touch on the process of malolactic fermentation.
I thought the questions were excellent, an extremely valuable revision tool. They really helped highlight areas I thought I had revised and understood but clearly had not, which has enabled me to focus on key areas to revisit and study before going into the exam... I think it is a great resource and an essential revision aid for any WSET 3 students wishing to gain a competitive edge and successfully pass the WSET 3 exam.
